I post iphone photos from Pittsburgh, my hikes, and the occasional poem. More poems
And here’s some fabulous #fungi from my Ricketts Glen hike on Monday. #mushrooms #photography
More #waterfalls from Ricketts Glen, taken Monday, it was an amazing hike. I got caught in a thunderstorm so didn’t take my camera out for the biggest one 😩 but it was spectacular and a serious climb up alongside it!!!
Please enjoy this Sycamore Tussock Moth (pre-moth of course). Fell out of a tree right in front of me at Milton State Park. Most interesting thing in the park 😝
I’ve been enjoying a short beach trip to Ocean City, MD caught this on the bay side during a #sunset walk. #photography
Brandywine Falls, Cuyahoga National Park #waterfalls finally made it to this park that’s only 2 hours from me in Ohio. Taken today.
Tonight, I saw the Quantum Theater production of The Tempest at Carrie Furnance #Pittsburgh. Amazing production at an unusual venue and my chance to get up close night shoot of the furnace!!! #theater
Buttermilk Falls, Indiana County, PA taken today. Easy one hour drive from #Pittsburgh. Not much hiking at the falls so combine it with another place if you want to get your miles in!!! #waterfalls
A stand of incredibly straight trees, on the Blairsville Riverfront Trail along the Conemaugh River, taken today! #photography #trees #nature
Here’s one that is not picturesque — downtown #Pittsburgh should be in view there. From my daughter’s house on the South Slide Slopes.
Started at the Sheepskin Trail in Point Marion, PA which connects to the Mon River Rail Trail, WV, so I walked to another state today 😜 Beautiful shaded walk, but unfortunately, there’s a noisy power plant that I was not aware of! Recommend if you’re into engineering as there is also a lock and dam!
Tonight’s walk, because walking when the sun up is rough in this heatwave, revealed some interesting shadows created by the newly installed LED street lamps.
Despite the heat, had a nice walk on the Westmoreland Heritage Trail, starting at Saunders Station. Lovely shaded green along Turtle Creek.
Didn’t get a chance to post this last night, caught the Heinz Chapel aglow at #Pitt after the WYEP concert. #sunset #Pittsburgh
Wonderful walk today on Ghost Town Trail starting at Dilltown and headed West. Quiet, mostly along Blacklick Creek, a couple bridges and restrooms at the parking lot! Worth the hour drive out of town.
Love it when the Schenley Park Tufa bridges are blooming! #Pittsburgh #photography
Also, of all the times I’ve been to Phipps, I’ve never walked this upper path and noticed this tree. The picture doesn’t do it justice, she’s been around a looooong time!! #Pittsburgh #photography
Had a lovely walk through Schenley Park and past Phipps today, enjoyed this view of the Cathedral of Learning. #Pittsburgh #photography
What a beauty, such a glow! Taken from my window last night. #Pittsburgh #sunset
Also Ravens Roost, Blue Ridge Parkway, taken this evening. #photography #sunset
